The Legendary Krivo Pickup for Upright Bass.
Pre-Order now: pickups will ship by November 18th. The undisputed world's most popular magnetic pickup for upright bass—has sold out every month for over 5 years!
The Krivo now mounts with a heavy duty but lightweight brass L-bracket (no modification whatsoever to your bass is required: bracket attaches with included 3M™ Dual-Lock fastener). The new mounting system enables the Krivo to fit even basses with a very thin or even curved "cutaway" style fingerboards. The new mount keeps the pickup securely attached even with very forceful and aggressive playing—great for rockabilly and psychobilly players. The 2020 Krivo pickup for upright bass now has a full coverage two year warranty.
The Krivo pickup for upright bass is fully adjustable for perfect string balance and my proprietary Optimized Microphonics™ technique results in a surprisingly "acoustic" sound. Please remember: you must use steel-core strings for any magnetic pickup to work properly. The Krivo also excels on electric upright basses (EUBs) as long as there is enough room
If I'm sold out, you can always order from Gollihur Music in the USA, or in Europe order from Thomann (DE). Promenade Music (UK), Le niglo (France).

The Krivo acoustic bass pickup is the perfect choice for tone, clarity, and presence. It delivers the authentic sound of the acoustic bass when I need to play in an amplified ensemble settings and it holds up perfectly in both low volume rehearsals and high energy performances. The compact design makes it especially easy to add to your setup, and it can be attached and removed very efficiently. I recommend the Krivo acoustic bass pickup for the player who needs to add that extra kick to his sound”.--Dirk Shumaker: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

Rarely have I ever been so impressed and satisfied with a product! The Krivo bass pickup allows me to compete with high-volume guitars and drums!!! I can finally hear myself without my upright feeding back! I don’t even have to play as hard! This is even more amazing because I’m not compromising any of the pure tone of the instrument. It gives the bass a rich, dark and woody yet bright sound! I’m thoroughly impressed and proud to be a part of the Krivo family - Dante Fire, professional bassist: George Duke, Al Jarreau, Rick James, Candy Dulfer, and Ice-T.

“The Krivo bass pickup delivers a warm, powerful, focused and well defined sound. It has a clarity not found in most piezo pickups especially in the middle and upper registers and has none of the upper-mid brashness that many piezos do. The individual pole pieces allow you to get a balanced sound out of any instrument with little effort. It has been especially useful when touring and playing venue or backline provided basses. I just bring extra mounting tape (which is available in most hardware stores) put the pickup on and instantly have a good sound out of just about any bass (as long as it has steel strings!). Kudos to Jason for coming up with such a fine product!” --John Belzaguy: Arturo Sandoval, Natalie Cole, Eddie Daniels, Poncho Sanchez
